Semi-classical analysis of black holes in Loop Quantum Gravity: Modelling Hawking radiation with volume fluctuations

Pierre Heidmann, Hongguang Liu, Karim Noui

We introduce the notion of fluid approximation of a quantum spherical black hole in the context of Loop Quantum Gravity. In this limit, the microstates of the black hole are intert…

Aspherical Photon and Anti-Photon Surfaces

G. W. Gibbons, C. M. Warnick

In this note we identify photon surfaces and anti-photon surfaces in some physically interesting spacetimes, which are not spherically symmetric. All of our examples solve physical…

Photon Spheres and Sonic Horizons in Black Holes from Supergravity and Other Theories

M. Cvetic, G. W. Gibbons, C. N. Pope

We study closed photon orbits in spherically-symmetric static solutions of supergravity theories, a Horndeski theory, and a theory of quintessence. These orbits lie in what we shal…

Analytic continuation of the rotating black hole state counting

Jibril Ben Achour, Karim Noui, Alejandro Perez

In loop quantum gravity, a spherical black hole can be described in terms of a Chern-Simons theory on a punctured 2-sphere. The sphere represents the horizon. The punctures are the…

Conformal and projective symmetries in Newtonian cosmology

C. Duval, G. W. Gibbons, P. A. Horváthy

Definitions of non-relativistic conformal transformations are considered both in the Newton-Cartan and in the Kaluza-Klein-type Eisenhart/Bargmann geometrical frameworks. The symme…

Bouncing Universes in Scalar-Tensor Gravity Around Conformal Invariance

B. Boisseau, H. Giacomini, D. Polarski

We consider the possibility to produce a bouncing universe in the framework of scalar-tensor gravity when the scalar field has a nonconformal coupling to the Ricci scalar. We prove…
